How to convert 2-9 from strings to numeric

Question

I'm making a Blackjack game but to score I have to make it so that it converts 2-9 from strings to numeric but I can't seem to make it work. I'm trying to score the cards based on their given value but I don't know how to convert a string to a number and using my code it just scores everything as 10 and I wanna make code it in a way that it'll score 2-9 as their respective number but I also need it to score the Ace card as 1 or 11.

import random
from colorama import Fore, Back, Style
suits = (Fore.BLACK + '\u2660'+Fore.BLACK,
         Fore.BLACK + '\u2663'+Fore.BLACK,
         Fore.RED + '\u2665'+Fore.BLACK,
         Fore.RED + '\u2666'+Fore.BLACK)
faces = ('A','K','Q','J','T','9','8','7','6','5','4','3','2')
deck = []
for face in faces:
    for suit in suits:
        deck.append("["+face + suit+"]")
print(Fore.GREEN)        
print('''
 ___ _         _        _         _
| _ ) |__ _ __| |__  _ | |__ _ __| |__
| _ \ / _  / _| / / | || / _  / _| / /
|___/_\__,_\__|_\_\  \__/\__,_\__|_\_\\

''')
print(Fore.RESET)
card = deck[0]
for index in range (1, len(deck)+1 ):
    print(deck[index-1], end=" ")
    if index % 4 == 0:
        print()
random.shuffle(deck)
card1 = deck.pop()
print('card1 =', card1)
card2 = deck.pop()
print('card2 =', card2)
def score(card1, card2):
    valueOne = card1
    valueTwo = card2
    if valueOne.isnumeric():
        valueOne = int(valueOne)
    else: valueOne = 10
    if valueTwo.isnumeric():
        valueTwo = int(valueTwo)
    else:
        valueTwo = 10
        return valueOne + valueTwo
print("{} {} score {}".format(card1,card2, score(card1,card2)))
